Is Fable getting lobotomized over time of it's release?
So, I have been using fable since it got released. For months it was giving fairly good results, but recently few weeks ago I started getting very low quality results. It finishes tasks without finishing them, constantly lies and tries to convince you that you are wrong, and can't stop arguing without getting pushed to verifying what it said. But well, we all were getting that all the time anyway. Just now it seems the amount of this "AI bullshit" seemed to increase.
I am writing this post because I found some weird things in current Fable behavior. For example it's comment formatting. I noticed for a long time now that last Opus models format their comments in multiple lines, like this:
# Those comments are made of multiple lines
# that contain a single sentence, they are of
# the same size, but Claude usually outputs long comments anyway
But when I started using Fable it stopped formatting comments like this, and started creating much shorter one line comments, without multiple lines. Even when the comments became bigger it still was one comment. But now, few weeks later, I noticed that Fable also started formatting it comments in a few lines, like Opus does. Maybe it's a feature of Claude Code, I don't know, but Fable use to create more concise comments.
Also, it's responses became longer. Opus and Sonnet models always created long report-like, confidence bombing responses, almost to any question. Fable was the first Claude model that gave concise responses, and still explained very well. But again, for some reason now when it's asked anything it now gives long detailed responses for anything it is being asked.
I double checked if maybe for some reason I used Opus instead of Fable, or if was out of Fable quota and it auto-routed to Opus. Tried in different repos. But still got same results.
Did anyone else notice it? Did I miss anything?
